Nicolette Mormino

Nicolette Mormino is a Hereford cattle breeder in Excelsior Springs, MO, northwest Missouri near Kansas City. With a background in livestock management and membership in national breed associations, she maintains a herd that meets registry standards and undergoes regular health screenings.

The cattle graze on rotational pastures to encourage strong bone development and natural foraging behavior. Each calf receives early socialization through supervised handling, and housing includes open barns and shelters that allow freedom of movement. The farm’s approach balances traditional ranching methods with ongoing education in animal welfare. Visitors often comment on the herd’s even temperament and the care evident in every aspect of daily routines.

Established over a decade ago, the operation has gradually expanded while preserving strong small-scale family values and a local reputation. Calves are tested for structural soundness, pedigree verification, and growth metrics to support long-term herd health.
